Yolanda G @RT93768460 11/26/2024 The beauty of this documentary was breath taking and the crew i would like to say thank you for showing us the will power of working together to show us the beauty of creation that our god Jehovah has made as he said it wasnt made for nothing and also the first documentary that made me cry its so beautiful thank you..

Beautifully edited with flowing yet understated pan shots, aerial and satellite photography, and quiet transitions to slow motion that gently enter realms of poetry, this film manages to weave the group's individual personalities, cultural differences, war, fires, wildlife and science together into a seamless narrative with none of the usual ponderous commentary or pandering to imagined popular thrill seeking. And a special nod to whoever arranged the haunting score. Into the Otavango makes even other Nat Geo films look cheap.The only down side was watching this stunning film on Nat Geo Wild on the 14 December release date, which ravaged it with cruelly crass ad breaks. I kept muttering "I'm so sorry!" thinking of the filmmajers' pain over this. Sure, NG has to make money, but ome films really do call for special treatment, and no one seems to have noticed.
